\ New Use for M0rher Hubbards.

Savannah News. The other night a
novel game was played on Conductor
Harris, of the down fast Georgian Rail-
road train. When the train stopped at
Union Point Captain Harris noticed two
negro women get aboard, and one of
them was dressed in a loose Mother
Hubbard. When he went through the
car he failed to find one of the women,
and upon questioning the negro she
said that somebody had snatched the
other girls ticket away and she got off.
The captain did not suspect anything
wrong, but when the train reached
Barrett the missing woman came from
under the Mother Hubbard of her COM
panion and got off unnoticed by the
conductor, but to the amusement of the
other passengers who saw her when she
made good her exit from under the
loose made dress.

protection furnished by soe-called watch

protection furnished by so-called watch
dogs is very erroneous. The fact is
that ordinary dogs present no serious
obstacle to an experienced burglar at
all. But, although, as arule, dogs are
easily managed when certain things
are about a house, a burglar will try
almost any other before meddling with
that one. AS given by. an expert they
are as follows in the order OF efficacy:
A baby.
A small female dog within the house.
A female dog without the house.
Alight.
Thus it will be seen that baby, and
the more helpless the better, is a better
protector to a country house than. its
stalwart father, for where there is a
baby there.i is sure to be sleepless eye
watching it. No mere argument in
favor of matrimony could be half SO
powerful as this fact.-New York Sue,

Shave Yourself.

A new feature in barbering, writes a
New York correspondent of the Balti-
more American, is the fact that the
number of men who shave themselves is
daily increasing. This is not to be
wondered at. The best BARRIERS here
are the Germans. But this new de-
parture is the arrangement by which a
man shaves himself in regular barber
shop. He has his brush, his shaving
cup and soap, and his comb and brush
in the harber's cabinet. When he needs
shave he simply goes to his barber,
and finds his razor in perfect condition
and just the requisite keenness to suit
his face-and that, by the way, is a
great consideration. if the average
barber only knew it. The barber fur
nishes him the towel, the perfumed
water and the bay rum, if he wants
them. The barber's boy fathers the
mans face, and then the customer
shaves himself. 1t is an arrangement
for which the self-shavers pay 10 cents
shave. thus saving 5 cents, and has,
besides the satisfaction of knowing that
if his face. after the shave. looks like it
had met buzz saw, just who is to
blame.

An Ideal Girl.

a Western Bishop has given to the
world his ideal girl. It would not be
rash to fancy, by the way, that the
Bishops wife was fattered by the de-
scription. It sounds very like what men
say .'Mother was, when she was girl. !"
SHE was little girl until she was Is
years old and she helped her mother in
her household duties. She had her
hours of play and enjoyed herself to the
fullest extent. She never said to her
mother, Il can't don't want to-
for obedience was to her cherished
virtue. She arose in the morning when
called, and we, do not suppose she had,
her hair done up in papers and crimp-
ing-pins or banged over her forehead.
She did not grow into ayoung lady and
talk about her beau before she was in
her teens, and she did not read dime
novels, nor was she fancying hero in
every plowboy she met. The oldfash-
Toned girl was modest in her demeanor,
and she never talked slang nor used by
words. She did not laugh al old PEG
pie nor make fun Of cripples. She had
respect for her elders, and was not
above listening to words of counsel
from those older than herself. She
did not know as much as her mother,
nor did she think that her Judgment
was as good as that of her grandmoth-
er. She did not 60 to parties by the
time that she was ten years old and
stay till after midnight dancing with
any chance young man who happened
to be present. She went to bed in sea-
son, and doubtless said her prayers and
slept the sleep of innocence, rose up
in the morning happy and capable Of
giving happiness. As now, if there be
an old-fashioned girl in the world to-
day, may Heaven bless and keep her
and raise up others like her."

The Poets Son,
~ have a son, q little son,
A bow lust five years old. ),

y
That is the way poet starts little
sonnet to his little son, probably his
first and only one. It's all right, old
man: Nobody is going to find fault
with you for eulogizing the kid. If YOU
have been at home for the last six wears
or so, you ought to know all about him.
And certainly nobody can pick any
flaws in the lines quoted above, which
are clear. definite and positive. Some
poets would have made at least whole
verse out of them something like this:
have son with deep blue eyes
A little son, who never cries
A darling boy just five years old,
Who's worth his weight in virgin gold.
But why were you SO anxious to i'm
press on the public the fact that your
son is boyp There is one bad feature
about this scheme of addressing a poem
to the first-born, and that is, when
eight or ten more come along in due
course of time, and grow up, they are
liable to feel hurt if they do not also get
a send-off, and the father is very apt to
neglect the later crop unless verses run
from him like molasses from Jug.
Much unhappiness has been caused in
this way.

Fighting Fish.

There lis hot tempered little fish,
known as Beta pugnax, and kept as a
sort of domestic pet by the Siamese, to
display its prowess for the Monaghan
amusement. When in state of quiet,
its dull colors present no remarkable
sight, but if two be brought together,
or if one sees it's own image in a look
ing glass, the little creature becomes
suddenly excited, the raised fins and the
whole body shine with metallic colors of
dazzling beauty, while the projected
gill membrane, waving like black
frill round the throat. adds something
of grotesqueness to the general appear
ance. In this state, it darts at its re al
or reflected antagonist.
The Siamese keep these fishes in
globes like goldfish, and the Malays
often stake large sums, or even the
freedom of themselves and their families
on the proves of particular BETA.
